These Baby Shower-Style Workshops Are Empowering Illinois Women to Choose Life

Earlier this year, the Family Life Center of Illinois added a fun new component to its prenatal program: baby shower-style workshops that educate and celebrate clients through each trimester of pregnancy.

Kathy Potter, R.N., (pictured) who serves as the center’s nurse manager and sonographer, oversees the prenatal program and its new set of workshops, an idea which she implemented after learning about a similar program in another state.

The women can even bring a guest.
